1888, when his term expires, has famil-
lar sound to Knights. John Morrison,
master workman of the carpet workers
expelled district 126, said yesterday:
"This resignation of General Master
Workman Powderly is time-honored,
gray-haired, gray-bearded chestnut. One
of the first things heard when I came
into the order was that Mr.. Powderly WAS
going to resign, and be has been resign
ing upon every critical iuncture SINCE"
John Swinton said "As long as can
remember, Mr., Powderly has been resign
ing. The trouble is the job is too big for
Mr.. Powderly, and every year he is made
to feel it more and more. The vast organ
ization of the Knights of Labor is going to
pieces. In Michigan, the master workman
Of tho state assembly has called an emer-
gency meeting especially to discuss sub
jects pertinent to the integrity of their or
ganization. Every well-informed knight
of Labor knows that district assembly "a
has gone to pieces. Only the other day,
district assembly 30, the largest in the Or
der, was acknowledged to have become
bankrupt. District assembly 66 of Wash
ington, from advices that come to hand, is
in bad condition. Something is wrong
somewhere. The breakup is remarkably
shown in the wholesale slaughter of
Knight of Labor papers in the past two
weeks. But the Labor movement is not
dependent upon any one man or two men.
The labor movement will go on without
Powderly or George, and the wrongs work
ingmen suffer will be remedied, no matter
whether the present leaders go by. the
board or not"
Mr.. Swinton thought that S. NJ. Wheat
of Iowa was a good man for Powderly's 3
shoes, but there seem to be some technical
objections to him. He has not been
elected delegate to the general assembly
heretofore. Judging by the past, the del
egates most approved by the labor papers
are not the delegates that get into Office.

THE IMMIGRATION ISSUE.
Comments Upon Mr.. Powderly's Latest
Prsnunciamsnto Concerntng
Foreigners.

Chicago Enquirer, Julyg
Mr.. Powderly is becoming quite famous
OF late as an advocate Of restricted immi-
migration. He says that until
II can be shown that the person landing
upon our shores can be selfsustaining for
at least one year he should not be allowed
to land" He says he does not mean that
the "person" shall show the ready cash;
but he fails to show what else he means by
"self-sustaining for one year."
II will create no little comment that the
chief officer OF the Knights Of Labor and
the son Of an Irish emigrant, has an
nounced himself as favorable to the erec-
ton OF wall around this country, with
gates, at which all who enter must pay an
admission price. Mr.. Powderly should
join the New American party" recently
organized at San Francisco.
He should go farther, ask the passage of
a law to drive ino the ocean all those at
present residents Of this country who can
not give guarantee that they are able to
support themselves for year. What diff
ference does it make whether the poor
devils came to this country last year, this
year, or will come next month"; Since it
is matter OF dollars and cents only, what
right, even, has the native-born 'pauper"
to stay here and be in the way Of their
excellenciess
From the head OF the greatest labor or
ganization on earth, and one which does
not ask the country or creed Of the un-
fortunate or distressed" this latest break
OF MIR. Powderly is little inconsistent, to
say the least. But let that pass ss--for the
present.
What is the country to do on this veIa-
tious question of immigration The En-
qiirer would suggest that the president
appoint commission to draw up and
spread throughout Europe statement OF
our case. Mr.. Powderly as a descendant
of that people which has always found an
asylum here, should be on the committee.
1t could be set forth that we are crowded
to suffocation with people here; that we
have reached the limit of our resources;
that every inch of our soil is strained to
Tvs utmost capacity, and We find that we
cahnot produce enough to support one
more person than we now have; that 1t is
n gross mistake to say that there is land
enough here to support 6,ooo,0oo,ooo of
people; that we take back the proud boast
that "here is refuge for the oppressed Of
all lands"
All this, and more Of the same kind,
might be stated, and then an appeal to
the generosity, the pity of the old world
could be made. Remembering our hum
BILE and modest past, how we have never
arrogantly boasted of our superiority, all
the nations Of Europe would come to the
rescue of the heavily .burdened and un.
happy Republic, and help it to keep GU,
the "paupers" who want to come here
greatly to the disgust of our budding no,
bility.

THE CRADLE SONG OF THE POOR.

Hush | cannot bear to see thee
Stretch thy tiny hands in vain;
Dear, I have no bread to give thee;
Nothing, child, to ease thy pain!
When God sent thee first to bless me,
Proud and thankful, too, was l;
Now, my darling, /, thy mother,
Almost long to see thee die.
Sleep, my darling, thou art weary
God is good, but life is dreary!
have watched thy beauty fading
And thy strength fail day by day;
Soon, / know will want and fever
Take thy little life away!
Famine makes thy father reckless,
Hope has left both him and me;
We could suffer all my baby,
Had we but a crust for thee!
Better thou should'st perish early,
starve so soon, my darling one,
Than in helpless sin and sorrow
vainly live as have done!
Better that thy angel spirit
With my Joy and peace were flown
Than thy heart grow cold and careless
Reckless, helpless, like my own!
am wasted, dear, with hunger,
And my brain is all opprest;
have scarcely strength to press thee
Wan and feeble, to my breast.
Patience, baby, God will help US,
Death will come to thee and me.
He will take us to His heaven.
There no want or pain can be.
Such the plant, both late and early,
Did we listen, we might hear;
Close behind us-but the thunder
Ola city dulls our ear.
Every heart, as Gods bright angel
Can bid one such sorrow cease;
God has glory when his children
Bring his poor ones JOY and peace.
Listen! nearer while she sings,
Sounds the fluttering Of wings.

A sEA-M0NSTER,

Tom Langtry, walking along the peb-
bly, beach few miles from Mullingarth,
came upon a sheltered inlet, where, I'M
disturbed, he might indulge in the lux
ury of swim. 1t was warm after
noon, and Tom, oppressed with the IA
tigue and dust of long railway jour
ney from Dublin that morning, could
not resist the temptation of dip in
the cool, sparkling water. Leaving his
clothes half hidden among the rocks,
he plunged in and struck out boldly
from the land. After half an hours
lusty buffeting with the waves, he
swan slowly back to shore, and. scTam-
bling up the shelving beach, saw, to his
indescribable CONSERVATION, that of his
garments left on the rocks not trace
remained.
He stood for moment looking about
him in breathless dismay, shivering
and miserable, but with energy enough
left roundly to malign the rascally thief
who had taken his clothes. He shouted
in a strong, clear voice-once, twice,
three times - but no answer came.
What was to be donep He could not
walk back to town as he was, and it
was growing late and unpleasantly
cool. What a fool he had been to risk
thiefl Yet the spot he had chosen had
seemed so safe.
A quantity of rank, coarse-fibered
sea-weed, and the remains of fish-net
were hanging from stake driven into
the sand. No better idea occurring to
him, Captain Langtry tore great hand
fuls of the Shiny weed from its stony
bed, and, winding it about his shiver-
ing form, secured it with fragments of
the net.
He made his way inland from the
beach as fast as his unshod feet would
bear him over the rough stones. and,
crossing barren meadow, came at
length upon a cabin more picturesque
than the average, shaded by several
fine oaks. Help seemed finally at hand,
for surely the toughest peasant would
have more suitable attire than sea-weed
to lend in an emergency. Captain
Langtry FASTENED toward the open
doorway, and proclaimed his arrival by
knock and loud ''Hallol"
His summons was quickly answered
by girl of sixteen or eighteen, who,
after swift glance at the newcomer,
threw up her hands and exclaimed:
THE saints defend US, but it is the
Ould One himself"
Captain Langtry gave no heed to this
inhospitable greeting, so pleased and
fascinated was he by the girls beauty.
But her mental summing up of the Cap
tain was far from complimentary. She
saw only shaggy, dripping creature,
with little human about him, except a
tawny moustache and laughing, saucy
blue eyes.
"Begone, you villain, or will throw
this hot water over you" she cried,

not less than ten, to associate themselves
together for the purpose of receiving saw.
ings and investing the same. The articles
OF agreement so made must be filed before
the Clerk of the Superior Court in the
county ir which any bank is to be organ
lied, and the Clerk is required to record
them. A commissioner is to be appointed
by the Governor for each association es.
tabished, whose duty it shall be to make
a thorough investigation once in each
year, for which service he shall receive
not exceeding SIS. There shall be an in.
vestment committee, no member oil which
shall borrow money from the bank or asso.
citation with which they are connected.
Deposits Of any amount, not exceeding
$4,000, may be made, and dividends will
be declared every six months on accounts

months. 1t is expected that large mum

The Wilkes Railroad Meeting.

1t is learned from private sources that
the people of Wilkes county are much at
sea with regard to their railroad interests.
Three companies are bidding for their
favor aud there is some diversity OF
opinion among the people as to their best
chance, but our information is that the
great majority of them pin their faith to
the Cape Fear s. Yaikin Valley. The
Richmond & Danville people threaten to
build from Winston to Elkin and stop un-
less Wilkes gives them 100000. For a
similar subscription the Cape Fear d
Yadkin Valley folks promise to build to
Wilkesboro and thence TO Patterson. The
commissioners Of Wilkes refused the re-
quest that they order an election the first
Monday of this month on subscription
to the Richmond & Danville, and granted
the request of the Cape Fear q Yadkin
Valley that the whole question be left
open until the first Monday In May.
There is probably good deal of bluffiDg
all around and hopes are held out which
are destined never TO be realized. We
should say that the prospects for rail-
road to Wilkesboro within the next fey
years are good, but we respectfully sug-
gest to our Wilkes friends that if they
vote a subscription they look we'll to the
guarantees before they part with their
bonds. The contracts which railroads
make are often ropes of sand, as in the
case of that of the Richmond & Danville
with the people of Alexander county that
the road from Statesville to Taylorsville
should be constructed and in running
order by the 25th of March. Mr.. Bus
bee stated at Wilkesboro. as we under
stand it, that that was not binding con-
tract and his company was not obliged to
build to Taylorsville at all unless it chose
to! Col. Andrews, however, smoothed
this over by saying that he proposed
to build the Taylorsville extension some
time in the spring, "after the mud
dried up" The people of Wilkes, it may
be remarked have lost faith in the Ris-
ley scheme (the South Atlantic &
Northwestern Railroad) and the commits
sioners are not supposed to have any
further idea OF Offering the people an OPP
portunity 10 vote on a subscription to
that line-StatesviHe Landmark, l7th.

Lottery Advertisements.

The Legislature did good thing when
it passed the statute prohibiting the ad
vertisment of lotteries by ne ewspapers pub
lished in the State. The statute is ar
exact copy of the New York Statute or
the same subject and reads as follows:
The General Assembly of North Caro-
lima do enact: Sec. l. Amy person who
by writing or printing, or by circular oI
letter, or in any other way, advertises or
publishes an account of lottery, whether
within or without this State, stating how
when, or where the same is to be or has
been drawn, or what are the prizes there
in, or any of them, or the price of a ticket
or any share or interest therein, or where
or how it may be obtained, is guilty of q
misdemeanor.
Sec. 2. This Act shall be in force from
it's ratification.
In the General Assembly read three
times and ratified this the 7th day o
March A. d. 1887.
For the passage OF this bill Mr. Leazer
of Iredell, deserves great credit. He intro
duoed it early in the session, and watched
it closely. 1t slept long time on the
calen Ter in the House and was brought
forward when Mr. Leazsr was out of the
House, but he was not TO be foiled in that
way. He soon made his appearance, and
although an effort was made to kill it
Mr. Leazer fought it through and it was
passed by large majority. In the Senate
Mr. Adams of Union, and MIR Sid Alex
auder of Mecklenburg, rendered efficient
service in securing its passage. AD at
tempt was made in both houses, by inter
ested parties, to prevent the passage OF
the bill, but to no effect.
This statute will save North Carolina
thousands of dollars. There is no telling
how many thousands of dollars GO out ol
this State to certain swiudling lottery
that has been largely advertised by Ger
tain papers of the State. We regret that
they persisted in inserting these advertise
ments until the strong arm of the law had
to interfere and compel them to desist
The statute is what may be called "water
tight"-if even a local notice is published
stating that man has drawn a certain
amount with view to entice others to in.
vest, it will be a violation of the statute
-R0leiQh ADVOCATE.
For the sake of the boys and young men OF
the rising generation, we hope all our friends
and contemporaries of the State press will obey
the law, and hereafter refuse to publish lottery
advertisements. Young clerks who pilfer store.
tlls, end steal from their employers, are induced
to do so by the false promises held out by such
swindling schemes as lottery advertisements
Friends, whether the law violates pri0ate rights
or not it is good one, and let US sustain it
